BOBCAT - Six Flags Great Escape's First New Coaster in Over 20 Years! - Review and Vlog

- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- The Bobcat, a brand new family wooden coaster from The Gravity Group just opening this past weekend, is Great Escape's first new significant roller coaster since 2003, and their first non-relocated coaster in the 21st century! These smaller wooden coasters (usually between 30-60ft. in height and around 40MPH) are the perfect combination of being not too intimidating for the little ones, while still having some AWESOME, smooth airtime that even the most fearless of enthusiast would still adore! Megan and I had the opportunity to attend its opening weekend and see how good it was for ourselves, and how it compared to the other family Gravity Groups around the US. In addition, we check out Great Escape as a whole and share our thoughts on the other coasters in the park! Enjoy the combo review and vlog, of both Bobcat, and the incredibly charming Great Escape!

Love this review as always. Your content is always great, informative, and charming.
If Coaster Studios was a wedding, you and Meg are the memorable and cool people at the hotel afterparty keeping the party going til 6 in the morn. The chemistry is so natural, filled with love and I want to be brought in for more.
I love your stuff as always. Charisma is untouchable and I will say it again, your charisma is untouchable. I dub you "The Rocky Miavia" of the Coaster World. Thank you and see you for the next one.
Also props to Great Escape - commemorative stuffed animals to celebrate a new ride, out of this world.
Awesome job to everyone.
Oh my gosh this is the most poetic comment I think I’ve ever received 😂🥹, thank you so much!! ❤️ Only thing I’ll disagree with is we’d absolutely be the people in bed by 10 after a wedding 😝😝😝 #old
bobcat amazing we been riding it nonstop every weekend and ❤ the comet
My home park. Not the best in the chain from a ride perspective, but it has a charm that most of the parks do not.
Perfect description!
@@coaster365 So my ranking for the coasters of the park is
1. Comet. I'm that guy who had it above The Cyclone.
2. Bobcat. Educated guess. My first ride will be sometime this week. Alpine Bobsled was number 2 before it closed.
3. Flashback. Speaks volumes of how little the park has that a Boomerang is in the top 3. Nightmare at Crack Axle Canyon would have been here.
4. Canyon Blaster
5. Frankie's Mine Train. I've never been on this. I was already too big for it in 2005 but it has to be better than...
6. Steamin' Demon. I've been asking for a Raptor in this spot for years.
And since Alpine Bobsled seems to be a somewhat rare credit even among enthusiasts I will just count myself lucky that I managed to grab it several times over the years, but even with this being my home park, it was closed more often then not.
I think the "first to ride plushie" should become a thing. I would *love* to have a plushie from Wildcat's Revenge last year. Iron Menace...maybe not so much.
A little…steel worker? It could’ve worked 😜. But yes agreed!!
I didn't realize how charming this park is! We're going for the first time in August. Great review 😊
Oh you’re going to love it!! Especially the kids!
@@coaster365 yayyy! Can't wait!
Great review and I like that you keep doing the ratings, regardless of how "accurate" they actually are (they're just fun). I came here years ago in high school and am still only 2.5 hours away, so considering a day trip sometime!
Exactly!! Definitely wished we got a back row ride (I’ve heard it’s even better), but yes, allll for fun!
I almost forgot about this coaster, but it looks like it was an amazing addition for this super deserving park! Unfortunately, I don’t have any plans in the near future to get up to NY.
Glad you enjoed my home park! Definitely doesn't have the strongest ride collection but the atmosphere and theming definitely help. Ik you were only able to get the one ride, but general consensus among enthusiasts is that back of bobcat is where it's at, but glad you enjoyed it nonetheless!
I’ve heard that as well 😔, didn’t help they were only running 1 train the first few hours it was running, so the “oo we’ll just come back to it later!” was the play. And then it was down lol
I remember when comet came to the park. 30 yrs later and still the best ride in the park. I assume, haven’t tried bobcat yet..
Bobcat is indeed good…truly a good thing for Great Escape to have a “what’s the best coaster in the park?” debate!
Rumor has it that Walt Disney made a visit to The Great Escape and got the ideas for the Disney parks from The Great Escape
🤨🤨🤨 - you thinking of Tivoli Gardens in Denmark? Disneyland was already well planned out before Great Escape even opened
When the arrow has a walk on and you’re hoping it’s a long wait so you can skip it😅😂 The smell of fresh wooden track is so good! Solid theming for the coaster too, great vlog!
😂😂😂, so true man lmao. Thank you so much Angelo as always!
New subscriber here! Keep up the great work! Congrats on 2k!
Appreciate that!! ❤️
I was there on June 1st, and Comet was still closed. Good to see that it has opened, though it appears to be one train for now.
Yeahhhhh it definitely was, and was closed most of the morning too, so unfortunately just got one ride there too
Love the channel my guy
❤️❤️❤️
I'm really hoping this park continues to get new attractions and it isn't another 20+ years before it gets another coaster. For me, I need a park to have 3+ unique coasters for me to plan a trip there.
It’s definitely still worth a visit even now!! But yes I really want that raptor 🙏
I missed you guy I was there June 2nd also
Whattt no way!!
I’m going at the end of the month can’t wait
Also congrats on 2k subscribers
Thank you Henry!! ❤️
This coaster was so good!
You know, my daughter's going to RIT in the fall, and the Lake George area is... well, not exactly along the way, but close enough that it might be reasonable to divide the trip in half and spend some time there in the middle.
Absolutely!! Great Escape is so charming definitely highly recommend
Great Escape is one of the 4 Six Flags parks I'm missing. Based on your entire video it does have that Frontier City vibe from a theming perspective, although I was waiting for Longneck from Efteling based on the first few minutes of the video. Comet is probably one of the bigger bucket list coasters left for me in the US. Bobcat looks fun as well.
You’ll definitely have a great time whenever you get there!
I think I should bypass Darien Lake and go here first. Looks fun and like a nicer themed park than Great Adventure.
Great Escape > Darien Lake, no question. More coasters at DL but a better 1-2 here, and SO much nicer yes!
pretty sure I saw you while you were heading away from comet. felt weird to see a vlogger in their natural habitat
Whattttt no way!! Definitely feel free to see hi next time!!
I agree with most of your assessments, but let's not act like Ride of Steel doesn't exist, that's the best coaster in NY.
I found it to be on the underwhelming side. Then again, my home park is SFNE which has the far superior Intamin Superman, so I’ll always be a little harsher on the other two
I do not think Comet is better than Ride of Steel at Darien Lake but it’s close.
Having Superman at New England as my home park, the other two will probably always get an unfair shake from me lol
I'm guessing your gonna think it's rough because thoosies seem to hate anything wooden these days lol
It’s smooth as glass lol, all of these family Gravity Groups are, even Wooden Warrior which opened over a decade ago!
@coaster365 all wooden coasters are smooth.
i ❤steamon deamon yu have to lean your head foward after last corkscrew or bang yu good
Oh I still did lol, didn’t help 😅
